Grenfell Tower survivors re-housed in HIGH RISE buildings - with victims given £10 per day

VICTIMS of the Grenfell Tower fire are being re-housed in high-rise buildings and given just £10 per day by bumbling officials.

At least 58 people are presumed to have died in the inferno, with anger continuing to rise at the way Prime Minister is responding to the disaster.  

Now it has emerged survivors of the blaze at the 24-storey block are being re-housed at high-rise buildings. 

This has left some residents panicked and upset, just four days after they were forced to flee the tower in the early hours of June 14. 

And the MP for Kensington has claimed survivors, who have lost everything in the devastating fire, are being given just £10 to live on by officials. 

One woman who lives near the tower claimed residents were furious at attempts to re-house them in high-rise buildings including a hotel. 

Nadia Isla said one father had refused the short-term accommodation offer due to his children’s distress at entering such a tall building again.

She said outside the burned-out building: “They wanted to put him in a building which is a high-rise building. He freaked out because he doesn't want to put his children in a high-rise building. Would you?

“They have been trying to re-house them in the building but they do not want to go in it. Would you? Do you blame them? 

“He freaked out, he said he does not want to put my children in that building. 

“His wife, I hugged her, she cried in my arms for five minutes.”

She said it was a “disgrace” high-rise blocks are being offered as accommodation. 

Ms Isla said: “They have been offered accommodation in tower blocks in Manchester and Birmingham. Can you believe it? Tower blocks?

“They've just escaped from a burning tower block – they don't want to go in one again.

“It's an absolute disgrace. They are scared and terrified after what's happened to them.”

The MP for Kensington said survivors were being given £10 per day to live on.

Emma Dent Coad, who became the first Labour candidate to ever win the constituency during this month’s General Election, said the situation must be rectified. 

She said: “I have been told that some people who have lost their homes have been sent out of borough and are being given only £10 per day subsistence.

“If this is accurate it must be addressed without delay.”
